The Boeing C-17 Globemaster III is the West's most advanced heavy military transport.
It has short take-off and landing capabilities and can operate from unpaved runways.
The in-flight thrust reverser allows steep landing approaches to minimise the risk of enemy fire.
It can also drop loads and soldiers in flight from any altitude. All this makes it enormously versatile.
Since entering service with the US Air Force in 1993, the aircraft has proven itself in almost every conflict involving the US, most recently in August 2021, when a single aircraft was used to evacuate 823 people from Kabul.
